Where is the link to this story and the Preakness doesn't start for about another four hours.
EDIT:
Here.
It's too bad about the horse that fell during the race.
The nine-year-old who dropped over dead after the race, it was probably just its time.
My dad has a horse that is 27 years old. That's like saying after a 30 year old person died...it was just his time.
another sport that needs to go away.
I doubt your Dad's horse raced at the Preakness.
just saying that horses can easily live to be 30 years old.
Not if you're racing at the Preakness. The chance is much great that a horse who races will break his leg/die over one who doesn't. Yes they can live past 20 but they still have a greater chance of a grave injury.
exactly...thanks for making my point for me. Horse racing is stupid
I don't really watch it so I don't really have an opinion. Just like people who think hitting a small white ball into a small hole is stupid. But for ones who love Golf, like myself, I find it awesome.
Players get paralyzed in football yet we all love it.
people can choose if they want to play football or not.
So does that mean having a pet is stupid? They obviously can't choose.. I don't hunt but maybe outlaw hunting, I'm sure they'd choose not to die. Or fishing for that matter.
The way my wife spoils our dog...they would choose to be here! As far as hunting...I think trophy hunting is barbaric too but if the hunters / fishermen eat what they kill it is OK. I'm sure other people will have a different view.
But the point just like your horse choice analogy is that some animal being hunted probably doesn't want to be on someone's stove.
yeah, i don't think horse racing needs to go away. its not like bullfighting and a couple horses dying at a race isnt a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
funny hearing this from the guy who's reaction to cops killing an unarmed black kid or people of Flint poisoned by lead water is more or less "theyre poor and uneducated and got what they deserve"
